BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a vehicle glass run, which is mounted on a door frame of a vehicle and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, the invention relates to a structure of a corner part and a method of manufacturing the same.

[0003] The present application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-251946, which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] A conventional vehicle glass run mounted on the side door (frame) is disclosed in Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei. 10-44786. The vehicle glass run is provided with extrusion parts for the roof and pillars, and the corner molding parts connecting those extrusion parts together. The extrusion parts and the corner molding parts are U-shaped in cross section. A door glass is slidably moved within and along the sliding grooves of the glass run. Sealing lips contact to the surfaces of the door glass, which are sealing between the inside and outside of the vehicle. Further, the sealing lips guide an upward and downward slide movement of the door glass.

[0006] The vehicle glass run is manufactured by the following process. Thermoplastic elastomer is extruded and cut to have a predetermined length to form extruded pieces. The extruded pieces are set in a mold. And, thermoplastic elastomer is injected into a cavity. The injected thermoplastic elastomer welds the surfaces of the terminal ends of the extruded pieces by heat and pressure, thereby connecting them. The thermoplastic elastomer is cooled and solidified. As a result, the corner molding parts connecting the terminal ends of the extruded pieces in an L shape are formed. The corner molding parts are shaped resembling the corners of the side door.

[0007] In the vehicle glass run, a reliable sliding movement of the door glass is folded with the side ends of the pillar-side extrusion parts. Accordingly, the U-shaped sliding groove must be deep. The merely supports the upper-side end of the door glass put thereinto. Attempt is made to design the roof-side extrusion part with a shallow groove to make the external appearance good. When the vehicle glass run is designed such that the grooves of the pillar-side and roof-side extrusion parts are different in depth, viz., the cross sectional shapes of them are different, and both the extrusion parts are connected by the corner molding parts which are various in cross sectional shape, the size of the pillar-side portion of the corner molding part is larger than the roof-side portion of the corner molding part.

[0008] Enlargement of the corner molding part implies that a distance from the gate position for injecting the thermoplastic elastomer to the terminal end of the extrusion part is increased. Accordingly, the thermoplastic elastomer cannot rapidly travel and reach the terminal ends of the extrusion parts, while keeping its high temperature. As a result, the thermoplastic elastomer cannot weld and connect the terminal ends of them by heat and pressure. If the heat welding of them is insufficient, a connecting strength at the connecting part between the extrusion part and the corner molding part decreases. As a result, there is a danger that both the parts are separated from each other with the sliding movement of the door glass.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle glass run and a method of manufacturing the same in which corner molding parts are connected at high connecting strength to extrusion parts, and those are firmly supported on a frame.

[0010] According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a vehicle glass run which is to be mounted on a frame having a substantially linear frame body and L-shaped frame corner parts, connected to the frame body, and is made of a thermoplastic elastomer and slidably supports a door glass. The vehicle glass run comprises: a horizontal-side extrusion part and vertical-side extrusion parts, which are mounted on the frame body; and corner molding parts, mounted on the frame corner parts, for connecting together the terminal ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion parts by injection molding; wherein the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion parts are made of a first material of an olefin thermoplastic elastomer, and the corner molding parts are made of a second material which is an olefin thermoplastic elastomer and has a melt flow rate lower than that of the first material.

[0011] In the vehicle glass run thus constructed, the first material of an olefin thermoplastic elastomer is extruded to form the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion part. Those parts are both connected together by heat welding using the corner molding parts formed by injecting the second material.

[0012] In the injection molding, the second material is injected in a molten state, and reaches the terminal ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion parts and melts the surfaces of the terminal ends of them by heat and pressure. Those terminal ends are easily connected together since the olefin thermoplastic elastomer that is the same as the first material is used.

[0013] Further, the melt flow rate of the second material is lower than that of the first material. And its fluidity is large. Therefore, even if a distance from the injection position to the terminal ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion parts is long, the material swiftly reaches the terminal ends while keeping its high temperature and molten state. It melts both the terminal ends of them by heat and pressure and firmly heat-welds to them. Therefore, even when the cross sectional shape of the horizontal-side extrusion part is different from that of the vertical-side extrusion part, and the corner molding parts are greatly different in length, the corner molding part reliably heat-welds to both the terminal ends. The resultant product has a high connecting strength.

[0014] If the second material of low melt flow rate is used for the corner molding parts, a hardness of it is slightly increased. However, it little affects the use performance of the vehicle glass run. Since the first material as the normal material is used for the vertical-side extrusion parts and the horizontal-side extrusion part, there is no chance that the use performance of the vehicle glass run is degraded.

[0015] In the vehicle glass run, a melt flow rate (referred to as MFR) of the materials are measured by K7210 (corresponding to ISO 11339) testing method prescribed in JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard), and MFR of the first material is 45 to 70 g/min. and MFR of the second material 70 to 100 g/10 min. The reason why MFR of the second material 70 to 100 g/10 min follows. If it is smaller than 70 g/10 min, its fluidity is small. Before it reaches the terminal ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion parts, its temperature drops. And, its heat welding to the terminal ends is insufficient, and the connecting strength is also unsatisfactory. If it exceeds 100 g/10 min, its fluidity is excessively large. Burrs will be formed and the material will leak (sag and run) to the horizontal-side extrusion part and the vertical-side extrusion part. Accordingly, an additional step to remove the burrs is essential to complicate the molding process.

[0016] Also in the vehicle glass run, the first material may mainly contain 70 weight parts of ethylene-polypropylene rubber (EPDM) and 30 weight parts of polypropylene (PP). The second material may be prepared by adding a third material whose melt flow rate is lower than that of PP of the first material, to the same kind of material as of the first material as a main material.

[0017] In the vehicle glass run, parts of the horizontal-side extrusion part by which a door glass are supported are smaller than those of the vertical-side extrusion parts, and each the corner molding part includes a variable connecting part whose cross section gradually decreases in area toward the horizontal-side extrusion part, from the vertical-side extrusion part. The vehicle glass run thus constructed is well adaptable for a case where the corner molding part is likely to be long.

[0018] According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing the above vehicle glass run, comprising the steps of: extruding the first material of an olefin thermoplastic elastomer to form an extruded piece for the vertical-side extrusion parts and the horizontal-side extrusion part; setting the extruded piece so as to forma cavity in a mold; and forming the corner molding parts connected to the extruded piece by injecting the second material whose melt flow rate is lower than that of the first material into the cavity of the mold.

[0019] The vehicle glass run of the invention may preferably be manufactured by the manufacturing method mentioned above.

[0020] The above and other objects and features of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0030] The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, for a better understanding of the construction and operation of the invention.

[0031]FIG. 1 is an external appearance view showing a side door of a vehicle to which a vehicle glass run 10 constructed according to the invention is assembled. FIG. 2 is an external appearance view showing the vehicle glass run 10. The vehicle glass run 10 is provided with vertical-side extrusion parts 20, a horizontal-side extrusion part 30, and corner molding parts 40. The vertical-side extrusion parts 20 are mounted on front and rear vertical-side frames FRf and FRr (frame body) of a frame FR, and extrusion molded. The horizontal-side extrusion part 30 is mounted on an upper frame FRh (frame main body). L-shaped corner molding parts 40 are mounted on frame corners FRc and FRc, which are located between the vertical-side frames FRf and FRr and the upper frame FRh. The vertical-side extrusion parts 20 are extended and its lower portions are located within a side door SD. Those lower portions are mounted on retainers Fru extending downward, respectively. Corner molding parts 40 are formed by connecting the ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 by molding process. A door glass DG is supported by the vehicle glass run 10, and vertically movable while keeping a sealing. Specifically, the front and rear ends of the door glass DG are supported by the vertical-side extrusion parts 20, while the upper end of the door glass DG is supported so as to move into the horizontal-side extrusion part 30.

[0032]FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line III-III in FIG. 1. The front and rear vertical-side extrusion parts 20 are designed to have the same cross section in configuration as viewed in the longitudinal direction. The constructions of them are also the same at the front and rear of the side door SD. Accordingly, the rear vertical-side extrusion part 20 will typically be described. In FIG. 3, the vertical-side extrusion part 20 is formed with a vertical-side bottom 22, vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b extending upward from both ends of the vertical-side bottom 22, and vertical-side sealing lips 26 a and 26 b which are extended inward from the tips of the vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b and slidably hold the door glass DG from both sides. The vertical-side bottom 22 and the vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b cooperate to form a U shape in cross section. Engaging lips 28 a and 28 b are extended outward from the ends of the vertical-side bottom 22, respectively. The engaging lip 28 a engages a bending part FRm of the frame FR, and the engaging lip 28 b engages an engaging concavity FRk of the frame FR. With the engagement, the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 are prevented from displacing from and slipping off the vertical-side frame FRr. The vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b are disposed on the inside and the outside of the vehicle. The outside vertical-side wall 24 a is lower than the inside vertical-side wall 24 b, thereby presenting a good appearance. The vertical-side bottom 22 is spaced from the bottom surface of the vertical-side frame FRr by a predetermined gap Sp. The vertical-side bottom 22 is shaped to provide the gap Sp. When the vertical-side bottom 22 is pressed to the side end of the door glass DG, it is bent toward the bottom surface of the vertical-side frame FRr, whereby the surface of the vertical-side bottom 22 is prevented from being locally worn.

[0033]FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken on line IV-IV in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 is formed with a horizontal-side bottom 32, horizontal-side walls 34 a and 34 b, which extend upward from both ends of the horizontal-side bottom 32 while being opposed to each other, and horizontal-side sealing lips 36 a and 36 b which are extended inward from the tops of the horizontal-side walls 34 a and 34 b, and slidably hold the door glass DG from both sides. The horizontal-side bottom 32, and the horizontal-side walls 34 a and 34 b cooperate to from a U shape incross section. Engaging lips 38 a and 38 b are extended outward from the ends of the horizontal-side bottom 32. The engaging lip 38 a engages a bending part FRm of the frame FR, and the engaging lip 38 b engages an engaging concavity FRk of the frame FR. With the engagement, the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 is prevented from displacing from and slipping off the upper frame FRh.

[0034] The horizontal-side walls 34 a and 34 b are lower than the vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b of the vertical-side extrusion parts 20, thereby presenting a good appearance. The vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b shown in FIG. 2 are selected to be high, allowing for a tolerable error to a horizontal direction when the door glass DG moves upwardly and downwardly, thereby preventing the door glass DG, when moved upwardly, from slipping off. The horizontal-side walls 34 a and 34 b shown in FIG. 3 function to merely guide the vertical movements of the upper ends of the door glass DG. For this reason, those walls are selected to be low, thereby presenting a good appearance. Further, the horizontal-side wall 34 a located on the inside of the vehicle is selected to be lower than the horizontal-side wall 34 b on the outside of the vehicle, whereby a good appearance is presented when viewed from the outside of the vehicle.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 1, the corner molding parts 40 are formed in a manner that the terminal ends of the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 are connected in L shape by molding. FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view taken on line V-V in FIG. 1. The corner molding parts 40 are each formed with a mold-side bottom 42, mold-side walls 44 a and 44 b, mold-side sealing lips 46 a and 46 b, and mold-side engaging lips 48 a and 48 b. Those parts are integrally molded.

[0036]FIG. 6 is a view showing a portion in the vicinity of the corner molding part 40 to be attached to the outside of the vehicle when viewed from its attaching side. FIG. 7 is a view showing a portion in the vicinity of the corner molding part 40 to be attached to the inside of the vehicle when viewed from its attaching side. The corner molding part 40 includes a variable jointing part 40A whose cross section gradually decreases in area toward the horizontal-side extrusion part 30, from the vertical-side extrusion part 20. As recalled, the vertical-side walls 24 a and 24 b of the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 are higher than the horizontal-side walls 34 a and 34 b of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30. Accordingly, the variable jointing part 40A is gradually varied in its cross section, whereby a good appearance is presented and stress concentration is lessened.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 7, a thickness t2 of the mold-side bottom 42 of the corner molding part 40 is larger than a thickness t1 of the vertical-side bottom 22 of the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the horizontal-side bottom 32. That is, by forming the mold-side bottom 42 thick, its rigidity is increased. As a result, a force of the mold-side engaging lip 48 b used when it engages the frame corner FRc is set to be high. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 which is a cross sectional view taken on line VIII-VIII in FIG. 7, the mold-side engaging lip 48 b is raised, and divided into separate protrusions 48 b-1 and 48 b-2 in order to facilitate the mounting work. The height of them is higher than the engaging lip 28 b of the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the engaging lip 38 b of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30. The mold-side engaging lip 48 a is higher than the engaging lip 28 a and the engaging lip 38 a, thereby increasing the engaging force. Accordingly, a force by which the corner molding parts 40 is supported on the frame corner FRc is larger than a force by which the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 are supported on the vertical frame FRr and the upper frame FRh.

[0038] The vehicle glass run 10 of the embodiment is mounted in such a way that the vertical-side extrusion parts 20, the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the corner molding parts 40 are pressed into the vertical frames FRf and FRr, the upper frame FRh, and the frame corners FRc, which form the frame FR. In this case, the engaging lip 28 b of the vertical-side extrusion part 20, the engaging lip 38 b of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30, and the mold-side engaging lip 48 b of the corner molding part 40 are brought into engagement with the engaging concavity FRk, and resiliently held there.

[0039] In the mounting state, a widthwise rigidity of the mold-side bottom 42 of the corner molding part 40 is larger than that of the vertical-side bottom 22 of the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 or the like. Its force to engage with the frame corner FRc is large. The frame corner FRc whose dimensional tolerance is easy to vary when comparing with the vertical frame FRr or the like, is not compressed in width, and maintains its desired configuration. Accordingly, the corner molding parts 40 is not displaced if the door glass DG slidably moves.

[0040] Further, the mold-side bottom 42 of the corner molding part 40 has a large widthwise rigidity. Because of this, when it is press fit to the vertical frame FRr, it maintains its configuration and its firmly positioning is secured.

[0041] In the embodiment, the rigidity of the mold-side bottom 42 is increased by merely increasing its thickness. This feature accrues to an advantage that the vehicle glass run may be manufactured through slightly modifying of a shape of the mold for injection molding.

[0042] Additionally, the mold-side engaging lip 48 b is formed on the mold-side wall 44 b, which is larger than the mold-side wall 44 a. Therefore, its engaging force when it engages the frame corner FRc is increased.

[0043] Materials forming the vehicle glass run 10 will be described. The horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 of the vehicle glass run 10 are made of the same kind of material (first material). The first material is an olefin thermoplastic elastomer, and contains 70 weight parts of EPDM and 30 weight parts of PP as main materials. The corner molding parts 40 is made of a second material whose melt flow rate is lower than that of the first material. The second material is prepared by adding a third material of low melt flow rate to the first material. The third material may be PP, which is lower in molecular weight than that of the PP contained in the first material. The second material is prepared such that 1 to 10 weight parts of the third material is added to the first material, and a melting point of the resultant is 150 to 160° C.

[0044] A melt flow rate of the second material is lower than that of the first material. Values of the melt flow rate of it was defined by using a testing method of a thermoplastics flow according to JIS K7210 (ISO 11339). In the testing method, a molten thermoplastic material is forced through a die having a predetermined length and a predetermined diameter under a predetermined temperature and a predetermined load, and an extruding rate of the material is measured. The test conditions were: a temperature of the molten material was 230° C. and the load was 10 Kg. In the test definition, the MFR of the first material was 45 to 70 g/10 min and the MFR of the second material was 70 to 100 g/10 min.

[0045] A process of manufacturing the vehicle glass run 10 will be described. The general manufacturing process is used for the vehicle glass run 10 manufacturing. The first material is extruded to form extruded pieces for the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the horizontal-side extrusion part 30. Subsequently, a molding process is carried out. A mold (not shown) has a cavity for forming the corner molding parts 40. A gate of the mold is positioned at a location which is filled with the second material at the weight ratios that are substantially equal to each other when the second material flows toward the terminals of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion part 20. For the corner molding part 40 shown in FIG. 6, it may be a position corresponding to an injection position Gt.

[0046] Subsequently, in a state that the mold is kept warm at 60 to 80° C., the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 are set in the mold. The second material is injected into the cavity via the gate. The second material that has been injected into the cavity reaches the terminal ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion parts 20. The terminal ends of them are molten by heat and pressure, and cooled and solidified, whereby the corner molding parts 40 are heat welded to the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion parts 20. As a result, the vehicle glass run 10 shown in FIG. 2 is formed without any post-treatment.

[0047] In manufacturing the vehicle glass run 10 thus constructed, as already stated, the second material that is injected for manufacturing the corner molding parts 40 reaches the terminal ends of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion parts 20, and welded by heat and pressure. In this case, it may be heat welded to both the terminal ends of them since olefin thermoplastic elastomer in an easy manner.

[0048] Further, the second material is low in melt flow rate and large in fluidity, so that even if a distance L1 from the injection position Gt to the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 and the vertical-side extrusion part 20 is long, the material keeps its high temperature and reaches the terminal ends in a molten state the terminal ends, and melts the terminal ends of them and heat welds to those terminal ends. Therefore, even when the cross section of the horizontal-side extrusion part 30 is different in configuration from that of the vertical-side extrusion part 20, the cross sections of the corner molding parts 40 are also different in configuration, and the length of the corner molding parts 40 is large, the corner molding parts 40 are reliably welded to both the terminal ends of them. As a result, the connecting strength is increased.

[0049] If the second material of low melt flow rate is used for the corner molding parts 40, a hardness of it is slightly increased. However, it little affects the use performance of the vehicle glass run 10. Since the first material as the normal thermoplastic elastomer is used for the vertical-side extrusion parts 20 and the horizontal-side extrusion part 30, there is no chance that the use performance of the vehicle glass run 10 is degraded.

[0050] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but may variously be modified, altered and changed within the true spirits and scope of the invention. Some modifications will be given below.

[0051] In the embodiment mentioned above, the invention is applied to the glass run assembled into the side door SD of a vehicle. It is evident that the invention may be applied to the glass lifting windows of other vehicles than the vehicle, such as trains and ships.

[0052] The melt flow rate of the second material may be decreased in various ways. An example of it is to change the molecular weight of it, and another example is to use another material, e.g., polyethylene (PE), in place of the PP of a resin component.

[0053] Although the invention has been described in its preferred form with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure of the preferred form can be changed in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
